Speaking at a Thursday meeting of the General Assembly in New York, Gholam Ali Khoshrou said the letter was aimed at presenting “a genuine viewpoint from inside the Muslim world on the fight against terrorism for the youth.”
The letter, which was released on November 29, called on the young people in the West to help pave the ground for enhanced interaction with the Muslim world.
It was the second time the Leader had addressed the Western youth in an open letter. In January, Ayatollah Khamenei sent another letter to the youth in Europe and North America, urging them to study about Islam and to obtain firsthand information about it before accepting their governments’ propaganda.
The Leader’s letter came against the backdrop of extensive acts of terrorism across the globe carried out by Takfiri terror groups such as Daesh (ISIL), which is wreaking havoc on Syria and Iraq.
